Perfect for my Henry Supreme

I've actually really liked this scope, it's light, good adjustments and pretty clear glass. The subtensions work for my 7mm-08 spot on. What would really take this scope up a notch is instead of holdover dots, do lines with a windage mark as well. i. e. your 400 mark would be 4. 8moa elevation and a 1. 9moa windage mark.

Brightness and image clarity are very good, only issue is how much the eye relief changes between 4 and 12 power.

Put this on a Marlin lever action in . 357. Perfect little set up. Great glass as usual from Leupold

Mounted very easily. Very clear glass and excellent craftsmanship. Very comparable, in my opinion, to VX and VARI-X models. Mounted on an Encore . 458 Win. No problems what-so-ever. Great product.

I mounted and sighted it in with ease. Great muzzleloader scope. Very good eye relief and clarity. Both shots I took were dead on during a very cold late season.

I purchased this scope to mount on lever action rifle and it did not disappoint. Rugged housing, great glass, and above average light transmission makes this a great optic.

Haven't got to use it much other than to sight in my rifle. I have it sitting on a 338 win mag. Nice clear glass and looks great on the rifle.

I was very impressed with the quality of glass on this inexpensive scope. The optical clarity was clear edge to edge through the entire magnification range, and the eye box surprisingly forgiving. The reticle is one of the best available for scopes of this form factor. The elevation turret was crisp and tracked appropriately to the corrections however I wish there was more markings than just 0-3-6-9-12, making quick adjustments slightly easier than really having to pay attention to the dial. My other gripe is the lack of a hash mark for the windage turret to show reference to the adjustments being made. I know once the windage is set it will be capped and not used often, but I had to use the lines of my scope rings to have a clear marker of the starting/stopping point of the adjustments. I plan to shoot several different loads through this rifle, having recorded zero corrections, a hashmark to verify appropirate corrections would be very useful. Overall this scope surpassed my expectations and I would take this over other optics like Vortex or Maven in the price range. Several small changes could really make this a perfect 5/5 for the price.

Always preferred Leopold scopes/glass over other high end scopes. Even though priced moderately, Leopold didn't skimp on the quality/craftsmanship with this scope. I highly recommend it. Great scope, excellent glass and clarity.

Great scope! Adjustments always hold true. I "ran the square " when new & both weather extremes. Rock solid construction. Return to Zero is dependable, . 22rf & . 22mag!

Excellent quality

It was OK. I don't like things that are "OK" so I returned it. I took a chance and thought that it might be above its pay grade, but to me it was right at its pay grade. At this time in my life, I am fortunate enough to be able to pay a little more and get a little more. That's my honest review.

My friend Barry a retired police officer strongly suggested this scope for my Winchester Xpert rifle in 21 Sharp. Leupold makes a great product and the warranty is exceptional in todays market. Mounted this rifle and even though its a 21 Sharp with low recoil its spot on.

The only trim, lightweight, sensible hunting scope left! I have one right now and hope to get a few more. Great eye relief ( both critical and non critical), perfect sized and actually useful dimensions, very clear; just really nothing like this 2-7x33 out there, anymore. The size of the eyepiece aids in low mounting, plenty of light transmission and clarity. Makes a decent replacement for the missing M8/FX 4x33 fixed power. Only negatives are the zoom ring is to large and aggressive, I much prefer the VX-1 and VX-2 zoom rings, and wish the windage and elevation housing was much less boxy and more rounded, like the VX-1/VX-2. Please don't ever discontinue this 2-7x33, Leupold!

Great scope for 450 Bushmaster
By Shooter
Best bang for the buck scope for a 450 bushmaster used for Deer. I put a 3-9x freedom on a Ruger Gunsite 450 BM. I used the rear mounts not the front rail. 100 yard groups are under 1 inch. Bagged two bucks last year at 180 yards. If you hunt in lower Michigan where the shots are from 20- 200 yards this is all the scope you need. CDS is pre calibrated for Hornady 450BM ammo. All you have to do is establish a zero at 100 yards, set the scope on 0 lock the cap and its done. Good for up to ...

The VX Freedom line of Leupold scopes is hands down the best optics value on the market. It's everything you'd expect of a Leupold; awesome reticle, clarity and brightness that is unmatched, sturdy yet light. I don't know how they do it for this price...I'll be buying many more.
After extensive research and development, we present the high-quality 3-9x50 VX-Freedom Riflescope in a sleek matte black finish. This versatile riflescope is equipped with a second focal plane duplex reticle, a feature that enhances your accuracy by allowing precise ranging and bullet drop compensation.
The VX-Freedom Riflescope is a product of Leupold, a brand renowned for its durable and reliable optics. It incorporates the Leupold Custom Dial System (CDS), a user-friendly feature that provides a customizable ballistics solution at your fingertips. This system is not only easy to install but also effortless to use, making it ideal for both hunting and target shooting.
Built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, the VX-Freedom Riflescope delivers superior light transmission, best-in-class glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen and sportswomen demand. It's 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, ensuring it can withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, keeping the internals of the optics moisture-free and crystal clear for life.
The riflescope features a 3:1 zoom ratio, a common feature in many scope models, offering three times more magnification at high power than at low power. This allows you to adjust your power down for close encounters or all the way up for long-range shots.
The ergonomic design of the VX-Freedom Riflescope ensures a slim, lightweight product that fits comfortably in your hands, regardless of their size. The traditional eyepiece lock ring allows you to lock in a focus setting that is best for your eye, while the hardened surface coatings meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection.
The ZeroStop system creates a backstop when returning the dial back to zero, preventing accidental full revolution turns in the wrong direction. The duplex reticle, invented in 1962 by Leupold, is defined by heavy posts that stand out against cover in low light, ensuring quick target acquisition with thin lines at the center.
Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, the 3-9x50 VX-Freedom Riflescope is guaranteed to deliver every time, making it a must-have for any serious sportsman or sportswoman.
